"A journalistic account of ten notable Colombians kidnapped by Pablo Escobar’s Medellín Drug Cartel. It is a harrowing window into the chaos that ensued in Colombia during the ‘90s and how no one was immune to its grip."

"A quartet of Rabbit novels in one edition. For me, it is essential reading—as essential yet entirely different to Ford’s achievement. An extraordinary study and description of humanity and life in America between the ‘50s and the ‘90s."

Ten by Pearl Jam
Ten by Pearl Jam
1991 | Rock
Rolling Stone's 209th greatest album of all time
Superb album from one of the bands that made the 90s. Some totally excellent rock songs (Jeremy, Alive, Even Flow) and while there is some filler it is a brilliant listen.

1992 | Crime, Mystery, Thriller
After writing some of the best screenplays of the 90s, including True Romance, Tarantino's directorial debut wasn't seen by most until after Pulp Fiction took over the world. Those who did see it knew right there that QT was something special.

"You can’t come of age in 90s Chicagoland without falling in love with Lynda Barry vis a vis her weekly comic in The Reader. I have every single one of her books (I mean, duh, come on!) but this one is my favorite."

Dookie by Green Day
Dookie by Green Day
1994 | Punk, Rock
Rolling Stone's 193rd greatest album of all time
One of the best albums of the 90s and one of the best modern punk albums. There really is not a bad song on the album. Superb basslines, intricate fast drumming and Billie Joe at his best.
